hi guys, just to let you know i won't be racing at Brands. i don't want to make a massive deal of it, but circumstances dictate it's time to put the bike up for sale and do something else instead.

my bike will be up in the classifieds later today.

I'll still be at Brands to cheer and support and offer the usual range of supportive cuddles, sweeties and hand holding though.

DD has been brilliant for me but it's time for pastures new. a tough choice but one i've made and i'm cool with (well today i am anyway!). i won't be giving up racing but it's just got to go to one side for a little while.

this will be the new toy!

hopefully i'll be able to earn an extra few quid with said new toy and get another race bike sorted for next season.

good luck for Brands everyone, i'll really miss the racing and if i burst into floods of tears at any point over the weekend then i am very sorry indeed!
